Title
BRING SHARON HOME / D.C. LESBIAN COMMITTEE TO FREE SHARON KOWALSKI
Description
Sharon Kowalski and Karen Thompson were partners in St. Cloud, Minn., for four years when, in 1983, Kowalski suffered massive brain injuries in an automobile accident. A court named Kowalski’s father as legal guardian with the understanding that Thompson would have visitation rights; however, the father cut off Thompson’s visitation rights and Thompson sued. Ultimately, after many years, the Minnesota Court of Appeals finally ruled in favor of Thompson as legal guardian, a significant victory for gay rights.
